ANTIQUE BOTTLE SHOW
On Saturday June 7th, antique bottle collectors from the coast of
Antique bottle collecting is an internationally popular activity. Most sought after examples of glass bottles are those which were
mouth blown prior to the invention of the automatic bottle making machines in 1903. These beautiful objects are treasured for the
history they represent. At the early factories, strong men toiled in intense heat 12 hours a day, blowing glass bottles individually,
using a blow pipe. It took a team of 3 to 5 men to produce each bottle and jar.
Through antique bottles, it is possible to trace 18th and 19th century commerce, the birth and eventual demise of worldwide industries,
new advances in science and medicine and of course, human nature at its best and worst. Although rare bottles will also be offered,
many of these historic artifacts will be available for purchase at a price anyone can afford. Shoppers will also find antique
stoneware crocks and jugs, out-of-print books on the history and identification of antique bottles, trade cards, advertising materials
related to the subject, and old postcards.
Sat & Sun, May 10 & 11, 2008: Parks' Flea Market is open every Saturday & Sunday from 8 AM to 4 PM at 12099 Marsh Rd in Bealeton, Virginia. Park's also holds an auction every Friday night.
